Who runs it
The auction is run by James “Jed” Heald, a sole proprietor based in New York, NY. It is a personal fundraiser; it is not operated by MSK or Fred’s Team.
What’s sold
Friends, family and supporters donate items and experiences, such as dinners, lessons, gear, art and outings. Each one is listed as a lot on the auction home page with a description, opening bid and closing time. Anyone can browse lots without an account.
